Tureen - Porcelain - Straits Market Lidded Jar

Large Chinese Straits Market Lidded Jar – Twin Fish & Lotus on Apple-Green Ground – Early 20th Century

Description
A rare and highly decorative Chinese porcelain lidded jar made for the Straits market (Peranakan / Southeast Asian export), dating to the early 20th century (Qing to early Republic period), after 18th century models.
The jar is finely enamelled in bright famille rose colours with twin fish in iron-red on a rich apple-green ground, combined with scrolling lotus and floral motifs. The domed cover is topped with a small foo dog finial, a symbolic guardian figure.
This type of vibrant enamelled Straits market porcelain was produced for the wealthy Chinese communities in Southeast Asia and is today increasingly sought after due to its decorative quality and relative rarity in this size.
